The State Government has plans to organize a series of national as well as international investor conclaves leading up to a Global Investors’ Summit in 2015.
“It will be day long engagement with investors. It will start with “power breakfast” of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav with industry leaders and business captains followed by targeted one to one meetings with prospective investors who have concrete proposals to be discussed with UP Government,” he said. Besides this the CM is expected to meet Ambassadors and heads of industry chambers and associations from several countries including the US, Canada, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, Czech Republic, Turkey, and Netherlands.
“The investor conclave is expected to achieve several objectives for the State Government. It will be a means to reinforce UP’s strengths in terms of growing consumption power, skilled manpower, world class industrial infrastructure and a responsive policy environment,” Ranjan said.
He said the Government also intended to demonstrate the State leadership’s commitment to private sector development in the state. Senior officers including Chief Secretary and Principal Secretaries and other senior officials of several key departments such as Infrastructure, Industries, Food Processing, Renewable Energy and IT will be part of this meeting.
